Making Your Own Cross Jewelry

With cross pendants for men and women and cross charms for men and women you can make your own customized, personalized and inspirational cross jewelry. Making your own cross jewelry is very easy. You simply select mens cross pendants and cross charms and then if you want a cross necklace you buy a silver chain or some other type of necklace. If you want to your cross jewelry to be a cross charm bracelet then select from several sterling silver charm bracelets.

By way of clarification let's make sure we are talking the same language or understand the difference between a pendant and a charm. Looking at the cross pendant above you can see the cross pendant has a "bail" connected to the cross pendant. This allows the cross pendant to be hung from a necklace, but only a necklace.

Now compare this cross charm shown just above, it has a "spilt ring" connected to the cross charm. This allows it to be connected to both a necklace and a charm bracelet.

There are so many sterling silver cross pendants that is helps, when possible to narrow the cross pendants into groups to help is narrowing the cross pendants down. One such way to divide the cross pendants into cross pendants for men and cross pendants for women. Celtic cross pendants and Fleur de Lis cross pendants etc.

However, those divisions are not absolutely accurate because the division is subjective. What may be labeled as a cross charm for men may actually appeal to a women and the other way around also applies.

The same thing applies to sterling silver cross charms. Some for women some for men and all for both. The silver cross charm is very versatile as we pointed out. If you want to hang it from a silver chain you can do that.

If you want to use a cross charm to make a cross charm bracelet then get a nice charm bracelet. These ideas with cross pendants and charm with silver chains and charm bracelets are a great way to make your own cross jewelry.

IRISH JEWELRY

Irish jewelry is as vast and rich as it sounds. One aspect of Irish jewelry is Claddagh jewelry. Since the full collection of Irish jewelry is beyond the scope of this post we will examine some of the cool aspects of Claddagh jewelry.

The Claddagh symbol is comprised of hands, heart and a crown. The hands represent friendship, the heart equates to love and the crown stands for loyalty and fidelity.

Claddagh Jewelry

The most popular type of Claddagh jewelry is the Claddagh ring but the biggest variety of Claddagh symbol styles are found in Claddagh pendants and Claddagh necklaces. Let's check those types of Claddagh jewelry out.

So far we have seen a Claddagh charm, a Claddagh pendant and a Claddagh necklace. In each instance the Claddagh symbol has all the required elements to be a Claddagh but they all look different but similar.

The hands are there for friendship,
The heart is there for love.
For loyalty throughout the year,
The crown is raised above.

The Claddagh pendant is great to make a Claddagh necklace with while the Claddagh charm works on both a charm bracelet and a silver chain. The Claddagh charm does double duty.

The sterling silver Claddagh necklace can be used as a great gift for your lover or your friend. The Claddagh necklace can be bought and used by you because you appreciate the symbolism or like that aspect of Irish culture.

Trinity Knot Necklace

Of all the Celtic necklaces the trinity knot necklace is among the most popular. The trinity necklace appeals to the Celtic jewelry lover as well as the Christian who likes the trinity knot symbolism. The trinity knot necklace is also known as the Triquetra necklace which has many Celtic symbols of its own. We will confine our look at the Christian meaning of the trinity knot necklace.

The Trinity knot necklace shown above is a personal favorite of mine that I wear in a black cord. It has the required elements to make it a trinity necklace, three corners and three sides.

The Celtic necklace above is a very popular Celtic trinity necklace. It has a Celtic circle of life in the trinity knot. From a Christian perspective this is a symbol of eternity which adds nicely to the Christian theme of the Trinity necklace.

The Christian celebrate the Holy Trinity representing the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Each corner or side of a trinity knot represents a member of the Holy Trinity.

As you can see by all these trinity necklaces the Celtic Trinity necklace comes in many varieties that appeal to all types. It is a symbolic Christian icon that you can feel comfortable wearing at any time and in any circumstances.

CELTIC FANTASY JEWELRY

The sterling silver Celtic jewelry genre is the most popular type of Celtic jewelry. It is more popular than gold Celtic jewelry of stainless steel Celtic jewelry or any other type of Celtic jewelry. We will confine our look at Celtic Fantasy jewelry to the type made from sterling silver because we have more choices to choose from.

Because the Celtic knot in Celtic knot jewelry is so versatile it allows Celtic jewelry to lap over into the fantasy genre. Think of how many fantasy movies over the years you've seen with Celtic knots used in the movies in so many ways. This can range to the very obvious Charmed Triquetra charm from the "Charmed" TV series.

The sterling silver Celtic knot necklace and the Celtic knot pendant are where you find more selections of Celtic fantasy knots and designs that you would in Celtic rings. But that's alright. Celtic knot necklaces are more showy than a Celtic knot ring.

Compare Cross Pendants To Cross Charms

The cross is the most prominent type of Christian symbol of all time. The cross is a huge part of Christian jewelry. So what is the difference between sterling silver cross pendants and cross charms?

Cross Pendants

We will look at the difference between the two and show examples of them as well. Let's start with an example of cross pendants.

The cross pendant has a "bail" that allows the silver cross pendant to hang from a chain.

The silver cross charms have "split rings" that allow the cross charms to hang from a silver chain or charm bracelet.

Looking at the two examples above of the silver cross pendant and the silver cross charm you can see the bail is not adjustable so it wouldn't connect to most charm bracelets but the split ring on the cross charm would be flexible enough to hang from a charm bracelet and a silver chain.

While the "bail" on a cross pendant is more sturdy the split ring is more flexible allowing the cross charm to be used for both a necklace and charm bracelet.

Joy To The World

Joy to the world! The Lord has come:let earth receive her King!Let every heart prepare for himand heaven and nature sing.and heaven and nature singand heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns:let men their songs employwhile fields and floods rocks hills and plainsrepeat the sounding joyrepeat the sounding joyrepeat repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grownor thorns infest the ground:he comes to make his blessings flowfar as the curse is foundfar as curse is foundfar as curse is found

He rules the earth with truth and grace,and makes the nations provethe glories of his righteousnessand wonders of his loveand wonders of his loveand wonders of his love.

Joy To The World is one of my most favorite Christmas carols. Pretty much all Christmas Carols that speak of the Savior are among my favorites. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the singing of Carols. I get to sing Christmas carols at Church every Sunday. Carolers come along to front porch and sing carols.

What better way is there to celebrate Christmas than to sing Christmas songs and give gifts as a symbolic gesture of the greatest gift of all...God The Father giving us the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ to pay the ransom that justice demands allowing us to repent and be save by the grace of The Lord.

Almost everything about Christmas is symbolic from the evergreen tree to Santa Clause. The colors of the season etc. So when giving Christmas gifts why not give cross necklaces for men to the Christian men and boys in your life. The sterling silver cross necklaces for men is a gift that give over and over again. Each time the silver cross necklace is worn the Christmas gift gives again.

The sterling silver mens cross pendants come in so many varieties, there is always something you can buy for your Christian guy. And all these mens cross pendants comes with a choice of three types of sterling silver chains and four lengths of chain.

Every mens cross pendant turns into twelve cross necklaces for men. No other website offers this kind of choice for the silver cross necklace for men.
